A nearly 25-year study concluded that children raised in lesbian households were psychologically well-adjusted and had fewer behavioral problems than their peers.
The study, published Monday in the journal Pediatrics, followed 78 lesbian couples who conceived through sperm donations and assessed their children's well-being through a series of questionnaires and interviews.
Wendy Wright, president of the Concerned Women for America, a group that supports biblical values, questioned the legitimacy of the findings from a study funded by gay advocacy groups.
"That proves the prejudice and bias of the study," she said. "This study was clearly designed to come out with one outcome -- to attempt to sway people that children are not detrimentally affected in a homosexual household."
I think funding can affect a study. I would imagine it would have little effect on studies which are peer reviewed however.Kids of lesbians have fewer behavioral problems, study suggests - CNN.com
However:
Do you think funding affects the bias of this or any other study?
I can think of many reasons why fundamentalists wouldn't fund such a study.And if anti-gay/lesbian groups are so sure that children from gay/lesbian households are all ****ed up, why don't they fund their own study to prove it?
Irrelevant? I'm not so sure. The study would seem to indicate a correlation.IMO, the sexual preferences of the parents is irrelevant. The only things that are relevant is the love, support, comfort, security, encouragement, and involvement of the parents.

She is a fundamentalist someone who is a bigot, and needs to get out of the stone age. Yes funding can effect studies, but that is not the truth in this one, since it was a 25 year long study. She is just mad that it didn't fit her mold of thoughts.
Would you also make that declaration about fundamentalist Muslims who are stuck in the Stone Age as well?
That picture appears to be staged. Lesbians tend to be extremely homely. Good looking babes like that don't tend to be lesbians.
You need to meet more lesbians if that's your impression...
A correlation between mommy's preference of genitalia and her ability to parent.
Oh, goody, let's just herd all the men into procreation camps, raise our kids with lesbians, and crime will drop 30 percent!!
Just think about how stupid - and how desperately reaching - this "study" is.
Depends on the methodology of the study. The bias is showcased in that, not where the money came from.
And that crazy heffer, Wendy Wright, would be the first to call on a study funded by NARTH or Focus on the Family so I'm sure everyone will forgive me if I find her being disgruntled over this a bit disingenuous.
If you are meeting that many ladies, you may have to face the truth that you are not gay.

Yes a person's preference of genitalia is irrelaven t to ones ability to parent
What is not, is having loving parents who care for the child and each other.
Given that women tend to be more nuturing towards childern then men are, having two female parents will typically mean having two parents deeply involved in the childs life rather then one
Untrue, women like to hang out with gay men for many reasons, one of the biggest ones is that they dont have to worry about being hit on constantly.

Now THAT is bias. There's not a woman on this earth that is more nurturing to their kids than I am. I know of a TON of bad moms.
